Timeline

Since the launch of the strategy development process in October 2021, the on-campus content development has proceeded in concert with robust constituency involvement and input off-campus.

Over the past year, we've been actively listening to our students, faculty and staff on our Stillwater campus, as well as at our partner campuses and across the Cowboy family — including alumni, extension, donors and friends.

The timeline below depicts a broad view of the steps in the strategy process.
